Mike,

I've been enjoying Chesterton lately. I enjoyed these quotes from him which are right in line with your point.
  • "Bigotry is an incapacity to conceive seriously the alternative to a proposition."
  • "It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong."
P.S. I like the "Moodies" too. Always did.
